Nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Interstate 81 corridor, Virginia Tech, Radford University and two major hospitals, Christiansburg serves diverse collegiate, commercial and professional industries, while still maintaining the vibe of a small town. While we may be located in one of the fastest growing areas in Virginia, Christiansburg still has more than 2,000 acres of undeveloped land, providing us with a unique opportunity for smart and progressive urban planning.
Recreation is a large part of Christiansburg’s identity, and you can see why when you visit our local parks and sports complexes and explore the Huckleberry Trail, which connects to neighboring Blacksburg. No matter the season, there are always exciting programs available through our Aquatic and Recreation centers. And with a growing festival scene and brand new Farmers Market, we’re all about bringing people together.
CHARLESTON – West Virginia Retirement Plus has surpassed $200 million in assets, the continuation of a dramatic 10-year growth period.
As of Sept. 30 the plan possessed $200.2 million in total assets, a remarkable increase from the $68 million on hand when State Treasurer John Perdue’s office assumed control in July of 2006.
On June 30 it claimed 16,793 participants, more than triple the 5,022 in the plan when Treasurer Perdue took over. The $200 million asset milestone similarly represents a virtual tripling in dollar amount.
